Chapter 1238: The Familiar Taste

While staying here Jing Ruyue was deeply concerned about being a burden to her daughter and son-in-law.

“No way! Mother, you’ve been busy preparing for the whole morning. You have to join us. Come on, everyone else is waiting!”

Xu Xiyan gave her mother no excuse and dragged her downstairs.

Following her daughter, Jing Ruyue walked toward the dining room. The closer they got to the room the more suspicious she felt upon hearing the voices.

Jing Ruyue heard it too and took a glance at him in surprise.

Helian Wei realized that he was being inappropriate. He coughed awkwardly and tried to explain, “No, no. I meant it tastes like my mother’s cooking.”

It was a good explanation. Jing Ruyue felt relieved while the rest found it reasonable.

Helian Wei had a lot. It was very surprising to Helian Qingyu. “Father, you’ve got quite some appetite today!”

In fact, ever since he’d found his father’s secret in the study last time, he knew for sure that his father must know Jing Ruyue from long ago.
